Obesity is a growing global health issue that significantly increases the risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The rise in obesity rates directly correlates with an increase in T2DM cases, with 90% of diabetes cases being type 2. The primary mechanism linking obesity to diabetes is insulin resistance, where excess fat—especially visceral fat—disrupts insulin function. Chronic inflammation, fat accumulation in organs, and beta-cell exhaustion further impair glucose regulation, leading to diabetes progression.
